(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 25, 2011 ) BAR HARBOR, Maine- When thinking about Acadia National Park images of summer hikes and bright autumn leaves often come to mind. This winter, experience the beauty and tranquility of Acadia without the crowds. After a few flurries of snow the historic Carriage Roads, popular for biking and hiking in the summer, switch to cross country ski trails. Unplowed roads are open to snowmobilers, snow-shoers, and cross country skiers with canine companions. Dog sledding and skijoring is permitted on many closed motor roads in the park. Snowmobilers can also cruise the 27-mile Park Loop Road. Acadia National Park's website keeps winter activity maps and trail grooming status updated and easily available.
After a day in the park, the nearby town of Bar Harbor is ready to warm you up with shopping on the Village Green, steamy plates of lobster, and Downeast hospitality. During the winter months many hotels and inns in town offer discounted rates, making it even easier to stay and play.
